The Christmas tree appeared in Ukraine in the 17th century by order of the Russian emperor Peter I, who borrowed this tradition from the Europeans, and the Huns brought this tradition to Europe. Until the 17th century. in Ukrainian villages, they put a didux, he is also called: grandfather, caroler, caroler, sheaf, king. The tradition of the didux dates back to pre-Christian times, when he was a symbol of harvest and prosperity. It was made by the whole family, and ears of rye, oats, and wheat were taken for its production - unthreshed, as it is. Dry flowers and colorful ribbons served as decorations.

There is great power in traditions!
